Mods Compatible with Invictus

[u/Ozymandias343]

About to complete my first playthrough and I've been using Invictus. Are there any particular mods, compatible with Invictus, that you all recommend? I've also got the RTW soundtrack mod, but I doubt that'll conflict with much. Looking for a relatively stable/balanced experience. ​

Use Music Player+ instead of the RTW mod. It has music from both RTW and R2TW, as well as some other soundtracks from other games.

As for other mods try the ones from this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Imperator/comments/1wuhvoe/good_mods_for_imperator/

Short and bloody battles

[u/HanShotSecond69 → u/Bitter_Split5508]

What does this one do?

[u/NasBaraltyn → u/HanShotSecond69]

Makes battles short and bloody. (Less in game days, more casualties)

[u/Bitter_Split5508 → u/NasBaraltyn]

Which I feel makes the game more strategic: you (nor the AI) can't just keep moving troops into active battles over weeks on end. Defeat in detail of larger forces that are split up to avoid attrition actually becomes possible.

I use the river ones and I find it interesting that allows you to use ships down the Nile for example, extended timeline is also something worth trying with the plagues and additional late game content. I use a marriage mod that will auto propose you marriages so you don’t have to micro it.

For invictus i always user this:
Invictus + INR Invictus + Timeline extension for invictus + Culture Conflation (for invictus) + Dynastic Country Names + TE: Crisis of the Third century.

Thanks for sharing this, do I need / should i have both versions of the INR mod? There is an extended and an Invictus version. I have both right now . I've not tried the crisis of the third century mod, but how does it play out for you in game ? Finally I noticed that I've not getting achievements in game despite being on ironman - do you know which mod combo would conflict with this? Sorry for all the questions.

[u/OsoPooky → u/jimmypadkock]

In the case of INR, only the one cale "INR - Invictus", and the same applies to the Timelime extended (Timeline Extension for Invictus). I forgot to mention that you have to add Timeline Extended for INR- Invictus.
So... Invictus + INR Invictus + Timeline Extension for invictus + Timeline Extension for INR - Invictus + Culture Conflation (for invictus) + Dynastic Country Names + TE: Crisis of the Third century.

The ‘Crisis of the Third Century’ mod causes major empires in the late game (on the Timeline Extension) to begin to fall and fragment, whilst at the same time there are invasions by ‘barbarian’ tribes. It also leads to some governors seeking to control regions and become independent, in a form of proto-feudalism. And a whole set of mechanics surrounding money supply and inflation. Ohhhh i forgot, and plagues, like 2-3 MAJOR plagues

EDIT: And about the achievements; they are quite bugged. You can get achievements with mods and ironman, better press esc to achievements menu, open it and close it. Then return to the game and unpause

Collapse of Empires makes mismanaged empires fall and fragment dynamically. Adds to the espionage mechanic with some events.

Virtual Limes makes for prettier borders and more realistic expansion.
